Behind the Scenes
In order to create a rig that fit our post-apocalyptic vision, we collaborated with Bleeding Art to design and build a one-of-a-kind sprayer. Each element was meticulously hand crafted and painted at a 14:1 scale. We added armor, weaponry, spikes, spears and even a roof mounted flame thrower.
Once the model was built, we shot the miniature elements on a bluescreen stage. In order to capture the flame and smoke elements, we shot plates of real fire and smoke at a 1:1 scale. All these elements came together back at the studio with our compositors creating the final piece.
